The window side of a room tends to be the least useable because the focus is on natural light, so this combination of wall-to-wall window with wall-to-wall storage below is a great example of how to create more value in a small bedroom space. This kind of creative thinking has to be done at the design stage and sadly, we don’t see this level of thought going into mass-developed housing design.

These images remind me of traditional Victorian tenement flats in Glasgow, where I grew up, with their built-in bed alcoves in the main rooms - I even remember as a child visiting a home that still had the original box bed in place. Like many things that have been discarded as old-fashioned, the cosy bed nook is making a comeback - with integrated storage, it can be a very efficient use of space.
